85 countries with no restrictions for entry. Drop one health pass, Drop The Vaccine mandate & Let people travel to the Philippines 🇵🇭 without hassle.

[@randellt]

Agreed! I don't know why in the hell.. the vaccine mandate in the USA hasn't been dropped! Yet, millions come in illegally-unvaxed through the southern border. Tyrannical Biden and Regime!

[@frog9990]

Absolutely!!! Unfortunately, the powers that be are afraid if they eliminate all of the restrictions it will prove that their Covid policies were foolish and in error from the very beginning of the viral outbreak. They also fear losing their cushy bureaucrat positions once it becomes known that they made the wrong decisions.

[@futureexpat1629]

The ease of staying here long term easily outweighs any hassle in getting here from a visa free country. Look at the neighboring countries. Of course, I will be more comfortable in visiting neighboring countries when all the restrictions are gone.

[@zorbakaput8537]

Don't know what your inferring, 85 countries without entry restrictions? Where would they be? Been to PI twice since March absolutely no hassles. People do exaggerate for emphasis but the statement loses all credibility.

[@frog9990]

Well Zorbie...most comments are from those persons who remember what it was like to visit prior to 2020. Back then you just showed a valid passport and answered the immigration officer as to the nature of your visit. Now we have the foolish One Health Pass to deal with and there is a multitude of variables that can go wrong. No internet connection or an unstable connection which is common is many Asian countries. And rolling blackouts are ever present in many Asian countries too. And leaving the Philippines now requires additional documentation i.e. the travel declaration. And Filipinos leaving for the purpose of tourism have to provide proof of travel insurance with Covid-19 coverage for the duration of their time out of the country. I suspect you are living in a developed country with good internet service and a reliable source of electricity. Unfortunately, most of the world's population does not have that luxury. An expat here in Philippines just missed his return flight from India because the area he was visiting had a very poor internet connection and he was not able to complete the One Health Pass and was denied boarding. Obviously, it's not always Mai Tais and Yahtzee everywhere in this world.

I had my visa extended to 3 mos at Dasmarinas Cavite at Robinson's mall (Immigration branch/office) after my 1 year balikbayan priviledge visa expired, and a french passport holder. Im a Bacoor, cavite resident. This was during the initial outbreak of covid year 2020 when all the airports for my connecting flights were closed due to covid. Mabilis, stress-free and accomodating ang Immigration office doon, pati ang guard very helpful and approachable.

[@stecar9122003]

The good thing that I like about the Balikbayan Visa is that when it's about to expire it gives a good reason to take a vacation outside of the Philippines. All the other times there are many places to see inside the Philippines.

Hello Jennifer my filipina GF gave me your KZbin channel for Imformation. We had to make our first visit in Thailand Bangkok because they allowed noneVaxed with negative ccv19 test results within 72 hours before entering their country, because the Philippine three major government agencies seem to contradict each other to say the least. I guess my question is because you touched on it very very briefly that noneVaxed can only enter in Cebu... what are the specific requirements to enter,, 1. Do need proof of negative ccv19 test results,,, 2. Do you need to have reservations with approved DOT hotels,,, 3. Will you be confined just in Cebu and travel to any other part the country,,, 4. Is there any face mask etc

[@babyrelaxinglullabies9671]

Very Helpful information Jennifer! I just hope that @aircanada would see this video to prove that former Filipinos are allowed to stay in the Philippines up to 1 year.. We(my family) was denied departure from Calgary to Philippines last year because they said our stay in the Philippines is more than 30 days. I showed them proof(documents) about the Balikbayan program, our old passports and birth certificates and still denied the entry. We had no choice but to go home with tons of luggages and 2 kids including a baby. I called the air canada customer support and none of them are aware of this program. Just recently, a friend of mine was denied the entry too for the exact same reason.. Now we are returning back to Philippines early next year for more than a month and kind of anxious about this future travel.. Such a horrible experience in a country that we loved and trusted for so long ruined by ignorant agents of air canada.

Is it possible to get more than 30 day when you enter the country? Or is 30 days the maximum, and you have to extend it the way you show us here.?

[@kitty_s23456]

You can only get 30 days visa on arrival (free). If you want to stay longer, you have to go to a Bureau of Immigration office to extend (and pay for) your visa. Do the extension at least a week before the end of the 30 days. You will also need an exit ticket which leaves in 30 days or less (for initial entry to PH).

[@stevenoshea9282]

jennifer can you ask the immigration dpt ,why they have 30 day ticket protocol thanks.

[@kitty_s23456]

It's because you (a foreigner) are given 30 days only (for free). Thus, Immigration wants to make sure that you have the ability to leave within those 30 days. Other countries have similar rules re: exit tickets.

If planning to live in the Philippines as a former Filipino, do you need to apply for a resident card? What are the procedures for former Filipino and their foreign spouse that plans to live in the Philippines?

[@kitty_s23456]

If you're a former Filipino and you intend to stay for good in PH, it's better if you apply for dual citizenship. Then when you're dual, you can stay forever. Your foreign spouse can apply for residency (13A spouse/ resident visa). If you don't go through that route, then you can avail of balikbayan privilege for 1 year, then you'll both have to exit the country before the year is up (you're both considered as tourists, not residents).

[@blessedme4188]

@@kitty_s23456 Thank you for your help! Also, can I just apply for a residency card even though I'm not a dual citizen?

[@kitty_s23456]

@@blessedme4188 I'm not sure, since you won't need to go to BI and extend your visa (if you're given 1 year balikbayan stamp). If you plan to apply for a bank account, some banks require the ACR I-card (resident alien card) or a billing statement. If you're a senior, it's best to get dual citizenship so that you can get a senior citizen card & can avail of discounts. If you don't have a billing statement (with your name & PH address), you can go to your barangay hall and get (pay) for a barangay certificate.

[@realstory171]

A former Pilipino? You are not a former Pilipino.. You Are Still a Pilipino Citizen Thats the law in ur home country. Nothing to do just renew ur ph passport f it is expired..

Outstanding information, JT! Thank you so much. I've never heard of an i card before, can you please do a video and explain, please? Also doing a video explaining how to open a Filipino bank account would be highly appreciated!

[@frog9990]

An I-Card is simply a form of identification. If you enter Visa free and extend before your 30 days expire you will been paying for the I-Card. Take a couple of passport photos with you and some cash. It's a photo ID so you will need to give them passport photos. The card will be sent back to the immigration office where you extended your visa. It takes about 4 weeks to get the card back and it is valid for 1 year. I have two Philippine bank accounts. PNB and Chinabank. Generally, they simply require two forms of identification to open an account. I suggest using your passport and your driver's license from your home country. If you get the I-Card I would not use it as a form of identification at the bank because on the front of the I-Card it says "Tourist" and some banks don't want to open accounts for tourists. I have a PNB dollar account for the purpose of receiving pension payments or wire transfers. I also have a PNB peso account which gives me an ATM card. I also convert some of the USD's into pesos and deposit them into my Chinabank account. That gives me another ATM account as a backup.

She can get a 1 way ticket if she brings proof of being former Filipino (old PH passport or PSA/NSO birth cert). She will be given 1 year balikbayan privilege. Tell her to bring her naturalization certificate, it's one of the requirements for dual citizenship.

U are not going back to India ? What to say to them

[@kitty_s23456]

You need to apply for the 9A visa from the PH embassy in your country of residence. It's also advisable to have a hotel/ Airbnb booking for 1 or 2 nights - print out the confirmation. As for exit ticket, it should leave before your visa ends (if you get a 59-day 9A visa, then flight should leave before 59 days). They usually won't ask you where you're going to next. What's important is that you have the exit ticket - doesn't matter where to.

Hotel booking is not required but it's best uf you have proof of hotel/ lodging in case it's asked by the Immigration Officer. You will also need to write an address for the OHP and your arrival card.

[@kitty_s23456]

@mercedes - kung for good na po kayo sa Pinas, after 6 months pwede na po mag apply si husband nyo ng 13A spouse visa. Kailangan po nya ng NBI clearance, by appointment po yun pag foreigner. Marami pa po iba requirements.

Hello, Ask ko lang po sa nakakaalam. Ok lang po ba umuwe nang Philippines as a Foreign passport holder with one way ticket then aayusin na lang po yong dual citizenship in Philippines ?

[@pampi6616]

Hi Jen how long it will take to process the visa extending for 29 days?

[@geraldineaso4490]

How can we apply balikbayan privilege we are married in Australia and i still used my pilipino passport do you think my husband can avail one year visa free if we go back to Philippines....

[@kitty_s23456]

Your husband should travel with you. Line up in the Filipino lane, bring your marriage certificate. He should be able to get the 1 year balikbayan privilege.

Jennifer Terri, Thanks for the info. I do have a question. Are there any requirements or restrictions for foreigners travelling within the Philippines?

[@peternielsen3759]

NO restrictions..

[@ricksivley7047]

I was watching a vlog 4 or 5 days back and they were traveling from one Island to another with a car and they were not allowed to get on the fairy until they showed their QR pass for vaccination

[@senseofstile]

@@ricksivley7047I see. So, the vaccine requirement is still enforced to travel within the Philippines. Hopefully Jennifer Terri will do a video.

[@gagaflorita]

Hello wala pa po ba pagbabago sa pag arrival? KC po nahihirapan na ako if need Ng 2 vaccine talaga 12 years old above na bata. If ever isa lang talaga ano po may 2weeks quaritne po ba sa hotel please reply me asap po.

[@kitty_s23456]

Pag yung bata ay 12 yrs & above ay unvax or partially vaccinated, meron po 5 nights quarantine. Kailangan din ng test before the flight.

Hello Jennifer here is a question for a lot of us foreigners. What happens if I travel to the Philippines and within the 29 days visa free stay I get married to a Filipina what I have known for 5 plus years now? Am I also granted a 1 year visa free stay ?
